Thanks.
In that case, would making a creature have other creatures for blood be more or less convoluted.
No, but you can make them lay other creatures as eggs

Nope, just brain-dead vermin.

When exactly are the creature variations applied? Is it during the loading of a word?

If not, will a bloated c_var file slow the game down?

Word?

No, a bloated c_var file won't slow the game down unless it's truly ridiculously huge. Don't get carried away with creature variations on creatures with lots of castes, though; Fortbent uses a GB of RAM to run because of that.

*world. Um.

And the c_var itself is... kinda big. This is the version that works:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And it's applied to multiple creatures with up to 5 castes apiece.

Well, it's only one variation, so it shouldn't be too bad.

You have their entity set up to allow for that.

Also, can I yoink that?

The funny thing is, I don't have them set up in an entity. Also, sure you can yoink it. I've been playing around with all sorts of true-to-Tolkien creatures and entities. I would put them up on the forums as a mod, but most of it about removing/changing content rather than adding it.

It's still all a mod. Actually, since it appears that you're making something, how about you yoink my enemy entity? It has Morgoth leading, Sauron as his lieutenant, orcs, uruk-hai (I keep it timeless as opposed to locked in one age or era), etc.

Ooh, now THAT'S cool! I've never tried doing castes like that before. I could learn a lot from those files, thanks!

How can I make a RAISE spell only target body-parts from a specific creature? Also, are raised body parts loyal to their raiser or do they retain their original organism's allegiances if you do not add the OPPOSED_TO_LIFE token?
Edit: Also, can an interaction be modded so that it can only target creatures that have a specific syndrome?

1)I believe IT_AFFECTED_CREATURE will work, but I'm not 100% on that.

2)IIRC raised body parts will retain original loyalties unless given the OPPOSED_TO_LIFE token, in which case they will be hostile to everything that doesn't have the NOT_LIVING token.

3)You can't make interactions target something with a syndrome, but you can make them target everything that doesn't have a specific syndrome with IT_CANNOT_HAVE_SYNDROME_CLASS. So the answer is yes, but it takes a fair amount of workaround. A more detailed breakdown of the workaround can be found here.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

how would i go about healing a syndrome with another syndrome? if nothing else is possible, i can do it by having the disease syndrome enabling an interaction that made the creature infect itself periodically, and the cure syndrome making the creature an invalid target for the interaction until the disease syndrome wears off, but i hope there's a simpler solution

Immunity is possible, but not curing.
